One such improvement is Microsoft Security Copilot which has been introduced for limited, early access. I don’t have to forecast another decade of continued growth and improvements. In addition to Microsoft improving its patch management tools, an entire industry provided a wide assortment of tools for IT to use. Patch uptake improved, and it wasn’t long before other vendors took the same approach, often releasing in conjunction with Microsoft, or at least on their own pre-announced, regular schedule. IT administrators could finally plan for and notify their organization the software updates were coming, and then deploy them orderly. Microsoft decided to provide some predictability to their software releases with the announcement of regularly scheduled updates, and it soon spawned the start of a patch management process. Software updates across the board had been haphazard and happenstance until that second Tuesday in October 2003. Patch Tuesday has had a significant impact on the software industry.

While Server 2012 and Server 2012 R2 may be in good shape for the short term, please don’t count on it for long, and don’t forget they are moving into Extended Security Updates this month. The October forecast for large numbers of CVEs addressed in Windows 10 and 11 and the recent record on the number fixed in Windows Server 2012 was spot on! Microsoft addressed 75 CVEs in Windows 11, 80 in Windows 10, and 61 in Server 2012 R2.
